EVERYBODY comedies that Mr.. Cleve-
land will be the Democratic candidate
to succeed himself, but there are not
many twos and threes gathered to-
gether who are certain of the Repub-
lican candidate Blaine, it is true, is
in the lead to-day with Sherman close
at his heels, but there are several
lonesome fellows who are sitting by
the wayside listening to the bees buzz
zing between their Derbies and bald
craniums and now and then invoking
Jupiter to let his thunderbolt strike
them. Poor fellows! The saddest
sight to mortal eye is poor, unfortu-
nate wight sitting in dram shop
without cent and waiting for some
body to come in and treat him, and
the next to that is the poor fiattered
and misguided man with his head
awry listening for his country's call
to its highest office when his country's
deaf ear is turned towards him.

THE inimitable Sam Jones said in
sermon at Plattsburg, Missouri,
Camp-meeting last week that he did
not belong to any political party now.
From boyhood until the past year he
had been a thorough Democrat but he
could not affiliate with that party
now because of its course in regard to
sumptuary laws; whereupon the Re
publicans rent the air with deafening
applause and yells, and he added, u
do not belong to the Republican par
ty, for thank God, / never was so low
down as to join that party" then the
Democrats raised the shout. In con
clusion he classed himself with the
Mugwumps in opposition to all other
parties whom he believed would come
under the head of Jugwumps. Sam
is Prohibitionists from away back
in Georgia.

The Republicans of New York have
nominated Col. Fred Grant for secre-

has been done in the interest of Bob
Lincoln for the presidency in 1888.
1t may be SO, most noble friends, and
if it is so, mark our predictions-the
Blaine men will snow Freddie under

from the drift until the heated term
of the canvass is over and partially

Paying the Minister.

Elder Blodgett was one of the old
timers who used to preach in a town
in the southeastern part of Dakota
Territory, On week days he carried
on prosperous livery stable business.
There was a good deal of competition
between him and the Justice of the
place in marriage ceremonies, and
they had cut the former price of SIS
down to a much lower figure. One
day young couple who lived down
on the bottoms were married by the
elder. After the ceremony the groom
acknowledged that he hadn't o cent,
and asked the elder to trust him until
fall. ''I'll tell you what I'll do" repli-
ed the minister. "You and yer wife
Jest agree to drive around town a
little while, carryin' sign advertiser
my business; am I'll call it square "
They agreed to do it, and in a few
minutes the blushing bride and the
proud groom were riding about the
streets up on high seat in lumber
wagon, bearing aloft a canvas sign
reading as follows: s.We were spliced
by the Reverend Edward Blodgett,
and we like his style. Cost $2-cheap-

ST. MARY'S ACADEMY.

st. Mary's Academy starts the new
year under the care of the same de
voted Sisters as before; the building
being crowded from ground floor to
top. There were indications in the
eminent satisfaction of parents with
the school work of last year of this
great rush of pupils, and what could
be done during the summer vacation
towards preparing for it, was done
with diligence and on as comprehen-
sive scale as possible; but the in
coming of pupils has been like food
tide, and the cry is for more room;
and still the girls come; the hills seem
to be full of them! But all are well
taken care of, as their happy, healthy
looks so evidently testify.
The school work of the year is well
laid out; the carefully, guarded
thorough English course is subdivid-
ed into ten classes, beginning in the
elements in the Minim class and go
ing through complete curriculum
for each class up to graduation. This
course as laid out is as thorough and
complete as that of any school in the
West
In the studio, many fine paintings
are to be seen, the work of the pupils
and there is library on art and its
teachings. A large number of pupils
are in constant attendance in this
department.
The plain sewing work includes
school dresses, drawing, repairing and
special attention to teach the young
girls to look up to a womanly knowl
edge of household duties, be they the
daughters of millionaires or in less
wealthy spheres; as the phrase has it
eff they do not need to do such work
they need to know how to direct it. =
AS in all sciences, knowledge is the
foundation of judicious arrangement
direction and success.
The language classes are under
stood to be unusually large this year;
besides the ordinary classes, those
pupils will have the advantage OF
language reunions, in which only Ger
man and French will be spoken.
The musical advantages are unex
celled with a large music hall, six
teen pianos, harp, organ, guitars and
other instruments. The lovely home.
like buildings, high ceilings, heated
by steam, are to be lighted by gas
next week. The beautiful grounds are
paradise.
Exact attention is paid to ladylike
department, calisthenics exercises and
lessons in dancing, the spirit of order
and discipline, the training of the
young; this is the life work of the
| Sisters.
There is an excellent library OF
over 1000 volumes for the use of the
pupils, and ample philosophical and
chemical apparatus.
The buildings have been newly
painted, and all about the Academy
is the very model of neatness, beauty
and order.
The entrance roll for boarders is
now about 1876; day school, 100; art
school, 40; music roll 140!-Tribune.

PHILADELPHIA always comes pre-
eminently to the front in any celebra-
ton concentrating the deeds and
events that date back to the years of
our first struggles for independence.
The constitutional centennial just
ended was a grand success and the
great city of Brotherly Love again
covered itself with undying glory.
New York, Chicago and other great
cities may take the palm in celebra-
tons of modern events but when it
comes to honor an event of note in
our country's history that dates back
to the revolutionary period then Phil
adelphia is entitled to first honors.

the HERALD will rememuer how we
guarded our remarks, and how we
even accorded the right of all the Kir-

felt so inclined. We stated that it
would be natural for them TO discour-
age the building up of new towns north

The Republican party is not without
its faults it has made some mistakes
bad men have sometimes got into it
and pushed themselves to the front
but who can measure the great good
accomplished by it 1t abolished sia-
very, it put down the rebellion, it es-
tablished the free school system, it has
given the country prohibitory laws
wherever they have been enacted il
has enfranchised women wherever il
was possible, it contains within its
ranks the progressive men and women
of the age. Its old time enemy the
Democratic party, has not advanced,
much beyond where it was twenty fiYe
years ago. The hope OF the country is
yet in the Republican party. If the
republicans will take up the capital and

The party will again be put IN control OF

Seven Good Reasons for Voting
for the Bonds.

Here are seven good reasons why it
viii pay the citizens of this county to
vote for the bonds on the both instant
LIST. The bonds are not due for TWEEN
ty years, and the railroad company will
pay into our treasury more taxes in
twenty years than the bonds amount to.
I'd. The law of Kansas requires the
Company 20 issue to the townships Ger
tiheates of stock to an amount equal to
the bonds issued dollar for dollar.
Sd. The building of the road through
Phillips County will, within two years,
add S33O,OOO to our taxable property
not for a short time hut for ever.
4lh. Not only will the road add to our
taxable property S33O.OUO, but the
building Of the road viii cause thous-
ands Of emigrants to come here and
locate, who will bring with them hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth OF
property.
9th. As a direct cause of getting this
great trunk line, at least four new
towns will spring up containing stores,
groceries, banks, mills, grain elevators,
IuMber yards, &C., which will be a
great and lasting benefit to the farming
community especially as it viii make
cheaper all the farmer has to buy while
it makes q lively market for his grain.
his stock, his produce-au that he has
TO sell.
9th. This great Rock Island is to be
pus he'd on to Denver. When finished
it will bring in the Colorado coal, and
furnish it to consumers so cheap that
the saving to the people on coal alone,
will am unit to a very large sum.
7th. The building of this great line
will, in the near future, cause a doub-
ling of the population of this county,
and Il threbling of its wealth. School
houses viii be built, churches erected ,
bridges constructed, roads improved.
and hundred advantages reaped not
now enjoyed.

Some opponents Of the bonds say
that the wealth Of this State has not
increased in the ratio of bonds voted
10 railroads; that is, that the people
have voted more aid to railroads than
they have received benefit from the
roads. We seriously doubt that state
ment; it is very wide of the truth,
but we have found out their way
of calculating. Hundreds of thousands
IF dollars Of bonds have been voted
in all parts of the State which were
never collected, and never viii be,
which have been forfeited by the com.
panies, and which are null and void
because the roads were not built. These
smounts should not be counted as in
debtedness incurred by the people, The
counting Of such bonds in the caIcula
ton is a sharp trick.
